Screenshot below:

So the first two lines somehow translate to "four of them"

The wall......there's a man part

The centre of a star is a pentagon but you can also fit another star inside a pentagon, I'm guessing the wall is a reference to the plane that flew into it so I'm seeing something from the past there but......theres also this.....anyone recognise that star?

Weird right? My name makes almost the same star as a sigil

The next reference: a halo, an arrow - if you combine those things you get the symbol for man ♂️

Halo - you get them around full moons but is it talking about Angels who are also messengers? an arrow like a hunter would have and if your following on from the star reference I arrive at the constellation Orion

So: Four of them but four of what? Four points on a compass? Four hours? The other four members of five eyes? Four words in the title? Four kings? Horsemen of the apocalypse? Four fucking what? Four more years? Four foot tall aliens? Four corners of the globe? 4th of July? 1 + 3 = 4? Four day workweek? I don't have a frame of reference to place the four? Four agencies? Four symbols? What the fuck is the four?

Speculative: the only thing I can find that ties the other clues together is the abandoned Orion project, something about a hack and nuclear propulsion engines on a spacecraft which makes sense about the wall crumbling if someone broke through the firewall guarding it? Something something DARPA

But four of what? What is the four?

FFS four cards.....from the past....

It's the Emperor (4) card in tarot and I did have an upset Emperor in that Four draw that keeps coming up, theres a fucking moon in it too

Link to original post below:

"The egg is cracking.....headache" is the future yet to come

Speculative:

Did the US figure out that Russia weren't the ones who hacked them? Is that what Obama meant by giving him space in his message to Putin? Did they figure out Israel was pitting them against one another, or did the USA lie to Russia and they figured it out hence they chose to use it to invade Ukraine because the US framed Russia when they interfered in their own elections?

Either way it goes back to hacking so it's cyberwarfare?

I mean, the cracking could be cracking the case, cracking of the media facade, cracks in a foundation?

The last part is so hard to interpret because it hasn't happened yet

The bubble bursting, well the cracks appearing and a bubble bursting is kind of happening right now, the crystal ball clearing?

Idea/thought/headache: um......past, present, future?

I don't know.....has wall street crashed yet again?

[montivanschalkwyk-blog]

The sacred science of the pharaohs. Millennium prophesies of tarots. Murdered cattle. Discovered near the crop circles of the land. While we fight wars for political whores like Mary Magdalene. The Hologram plans his incision. Apparition of Tibetan black magicians. My compositions will turn men into slaves. Holographic aspects of particles and waves. Propel the spacecraft in the Pleiades. Dwell in the abyssal plains like the Horse of Hades. The Wheel of Infinity. The Chamber of the Trinity. Levitators of the fifth level magician of divinity like a pentadrone. I sent your dome into the forest Of Ibilis like the wilderness of Tan.

The Fool. Art by Thalia Patrinos, from The Spacecraft Tarot.

Sputnik

The Fool represents a new beginning. 

In many tarot decks, the Fool is depicted as a jester-like character, so absorbed in the happiness of the moment that he doesn’t realize he is about to step off a cliff. The Fool is naïve and open to new experiences, without any skepticism or weariness to deter him. Even if the future is unclear or uncertain, he boldly takes steps into the unknown without fear or reservation. The Fool serves as a reminder to bring a fresh perspective to every new experience.

Sputnik I launched into orbit the same way the Fool steps off the cliff: completely oblivious of how the next moments would unfold, no inkling of how this event would change the course of history forever.

[stellar-owl]

the wheel turns and turns and turns and– - art i made for the @travelers-encore-zine!! please go check it out! everyone who contributed made such incredible works full of love for this wonderful game. i have a lot of thoughts on the symbolism of this piece and the themes of the game in general, but i don’t feel like rambling about them right now, so hopefully some of it comes through on its own. outer wilds i love u :) - edit: added the id!!

[image description: a digitally illustrated artwork of the sun, the hatchling, the ship, and several artifacts. the entire piece is inspired by the reversed/inverted rider waite wheel of fortune tarot card. the sun is in the center of the piece and is a bright blazing red in the center, turning to yellow at the edges. eight arms of blue fire spiral out from the sun, turning from fiery to watery in appearance at the ends. the hatchling in their suit hangs upside down in space at the top left edge of the sun, reaching towards the center of the sun where a nomai projection stone with the eye of the universe symbol floats. they are also clutching two nomai wall scrolls to their chest. nomai wall scrolls, a stranger artifact, a nomai mask, an hourglass twins projection stone, and a nomai audio recording device are scattered along the right edge of the sun. underneath the sun, the hatchling’s spacecraft floats upside down a short distance away. in the background there are scattered stars, several of which are exploding into tiny supernovas. around the edge of the image is a decorative border with abstract designs modeled after nomai architecture along the sides and the strangers’ architecture along the top and bottom. the advanced warp core is incorporated into the center of each of the side border sections, and there is a roman numeral X representing the wheel of fortune in the reversed position incorporated into the center of the bottom edge of the border. end image description]

The Tower. Art by Thalia Patrinos, from The Spacecraft Tarot.

Challenger

The Tower is both a self-destruct and reset button.

Sometimes the only way to achieve true change is by experiencing something so destructive, it forces us to reevaluate. Death, pain, and loss are examples of situations that can have such profound effects on our perspectives. Although we may think that we are always safe from tragedy— as safe as someone at the top of a tall tower — the truth is, as human beings on this Earth, we are always vulnerable to some form of unexpected change. The higher we go, the harder we can fall.

Do not fall victim to shortsightedness by believing that you are invincible.

NASA’s STS-51L mission aboard the Challenger space shuttle was to be one like none other. Although this flight was to be the 25th in the space shuttle program and the 10th for the Challenger vehicle, the mission was special for a number of reasons: the seven-person crew was to deploy the second Tracking and Data Relay System satellite into orbit as well as an astronomy satellite designed to observe Halley’s Comet. Perhaps most importantly, STS-51L was to mark the first time NASA welcomed a civilian aboard the space shuttle as a part of the Teacher in Space program. A teacher was invited aboard the flight to engage students all over the world by conducting educational lessons from space.

[zmwrites]

tag: 20 first lines

I was tagged by @teasenpaiwrites! Thank you!

Rules: List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have less than 20 stories just list them all). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favourite opening line. Then tag others!

I was tagged in a similar game LITERALLY forever ago by @scmalarky PRE-BLOG MOVE, which makes it the oldest tag game sitting my drafts. It came with the following rules:

Rules: list the first lines of your last ten published stories. note if there are any patterns yourself and see if anyone else notices any! tag ten friends!

I put it off bc to date I’ve only published two stories over on Wattpad. So doing the first lines from the last twenty projects is somehow...easier? I suppose? 

I’ll be putting the opening paragraph or so of each piece, and will only be using WIPs that I actually started at the beginning. Anything that doesn’t start at the actual beginning will be skipped.

Anyways, this is going under a cut bc I know it’s going to be ridiculously long. In order of ‘last modified by me’ as per Google Docs:

Remnants

Radka had been a seamstress in a previous life. Trained from childhood on the most delicate stitches, the most intricate embellishments. She had worked for royalty, sewing crystals and spun gold into skirts for the biggest social events of the year. Her steady hand and attention to detail had earned her a job in the palace by fourteen, and a spot on the queen’s personal seamstress team by fifteen. But that was years in the past. The girl she had been then, demure and innocent, wouldn’t recognize the woman she had grown up to be.

Open Seas

Theresia Bowen sat in the back of one of her family carriages, forehead pressed against the window as she watched the countryside fly past. The sky stretched on forever above her, interrupted only by the occasional wispy white clouds, and the spring sun had melted the snow from the hills to her left. The grass was still struggling to grow but was scattered in patches across the mud. To her right, the sea rolled and waved to the horizon. Ships dotted the deep blue, their sails bright and full with wind. Most were trading ships, a few navy, and the smallest of them all were pleasure ships. It was how she knew they were close to her destination.

Indigo Wars

Violet Colby sat cross-legged on her narrow bed in the room she shared with her two sisters at Osbrick Estate. The name was a holdover from the property’s previous life as a stately home, though not much else had carried over. The walled compound was nestled in the eastern sands of Edristan, less than two kilometres west of the capital city, with sun-bleached buildings that housed several dozen orphans and foundlings.

Pine Hollow

It was a miserable Monday morning, with dark, heavy clouds masking the rising sun and a steady rain pounding the town of Pine Hollow and the surrounding area. The dirt trails through the dense forest were slick with mud, the tire ruts becoming puddles and the puddles becoming proper ponds. It was as far from ideal body hunting conditions as possible without snow, but Virginia Crane had a job to do and she wasn’t about to let some adverse weather stop her.

Rochester WIP

The wedding was supposed to begin in five minutes and the bride was nowhere to be found.

Evelyn Rochester, for her part, was not surprised. Her sister Dorothea had claimed a headache a week earlier to get out of a family outing and had been gone by the time they’d returned. A small chest and a collection of her clothing had been gone as well. Their parents had made inquiries to some family friends but no one had seen Dottie, and at twenty-six she was allowed to do as she pleased, so they’d been left to wait to see if she’d return.

Just Jane

Jane rolled over in the narrow bed, pressing her face into the pillow as though it would make it any easier to sleep. Even as she breathed in the warm, sweet scent of the bed owner’s favourite perfume—myrrh, rose, styrax, and marjoram—a new sound made her ears prick to attention.

UNSS Spectre

The spacecraft glided through the void, following its prey silently. It was using its minimum operating power, leaving the two inside to perform their duties without overhead or emergency lighting. Only the glow of their instruments illuminated the interior of the craft. 

“Cloaking device operating as normal,” Ensign Graecyn Ramsey said. She didn’t need to provide verbal updates since Captain Mezei could see everything that she could see and there was no one else aboard the tiny stealth class craft, but it was habit and she couldn’t seem to stop herself.

Fissures

Katherine Delacroix was seething. It was hard enough trying to get a gaggle of thirteen to eighteen year old girls to focus under normal circumstances but having the #1 most eligible bachelor of the school just hanging out at the back of the auditorium was making it nearly impossible. To make matters worse, the attention paid to the blond was bruising the egos of the boys in the group and she was painfully aware of how desperately the musical needed them not to quit. They already had a female Cogsworth and Le Fou; they didn't have enough girls with deep voices to play Gaston or Lumiere or, god forbid, Beast.

Snapshots

“Are you still looking for a roommate?” Misha asked, voice muffled slightly by whatever she was doing on the opposite end of the phone.

“You mean since you stole my last one? Yes,” Micah replied. He was stuck in traffic on his commute home from work, something his twin sister Misha knew, which was why she’d called when he had no excuse not to talk to her. It wasn’t that he didn’t like talking to her, he just wasn’t much of a talker.

“You’re gonna have to get over that,” she said.

The Tournament

The coin spun in lazy circles on the table, defying every law of physics. Izora Graham watched it with one hand held in a claw-like position over it. She didn't need to but it made it easier to cover the coin should anyone watch it too closely. The bar was still fairly empty so early in the evening and she was tucked away in the back booth away from the few early birds sitting at the counter, however any displays of magic would bring unwanted attention. Especially something that could be useful to any of the Upper Houses like her telekinesis.

Noyama Contest

Earthens had spread across dozens of galaxies once they’d perfected faster-than-light travel, and hundreds of solar systems within those galaxies. PT-759 was one of the galaxies they’d colonized only to find that it was already inhabited. It had ended up working out alright though, as the native species had radically different planetary needs and also happened to find Earthens downright adorable.

Naetov was a smaller planet at the edge of Federation-controlled space in PT-759. It had a few key cities where government funding was funneled to keep them perfect for non-Earthen tourists. Those cities were clean and friendly, open spaces and carefully maintained flora making up the downtown cores, streamlined designs and shiny surfaces giving the impression of a planet on the cusp of significance.

Gossamer Girl

It was the first day of winter and things were already looking bad. Even though the cold weather had held off for an extra two weeks, the harvest had been poor. A mold had festered in their southern field during the wet spring and had spread quickly. They’d razed the infected sections as soon as the fungus had been discovered but it had already destroyed a large swath of plants. They’d lost nearly a quarter of their usual yield and the troubles had only spiralled from there.

Knotted Strings

The room was just a bit too cold to be comfortable. The walls were wood panelled with some sort of reddish wood that matched the flooring. Rows of chairs with collapsible desks filled most of the lecture hall, with the front of the room dominated by a whiteboard and a table. The professor, hawkish in appearance, was perched on a bar stool facing the students and overlooking the table.

Tess lounged in her seat at the table at the front of the room, notebook open on the table in front of her and pen moving deftly across the page. She watched her competition critically as he spoke. His argument was solid enough to cast reasonable doubt on her case, or it would have been had he bothered to address a small piece of evidence she found to be damning. He finished his conclusion to a spatter of applause and returned to his seat across from her. 

“Well done, Mr. Wynn. Miss Kinney, would you like a few moments to prepare your rebuttal?” the professor asked.

“No, I’m good,” Tess replied. She sat up, scribbled a note in her book, and then pushed the book across the table.

Oh, Ophelia

Alexis lounged in the shade next to the pool, sipping a daiquiri and considering her next move. She’d been using the same identity for nearly fifteen years and the neighbours were starting to get suspicious. With all the new beauty products and surgeries available to people of her wealth it was easier to convince people she was nearing forty when she was in the body of a twenty-three year old, but now she had to deal with people asking for her skincare routines and her doctors and the identity wasn’t worth all of the research she was having to do. She was getting sick of Malibu anyways, what with the yearly forest fires that got closer each year. She missed the deep-rooted history of Europe, the memories she had in all of the major cities, the people like her who were still living in their castles and manors pretending like the world hadn’t left them behind.

Bloodlines

Ten of Wands. The Tower. Two of Swords.

Morrigan Keeling sat on the floor of her bedroom, chewing the end of a pen and staring intently at the tarot cards spread in front of her. It was a simple three card spread to indicate how her day was going to go: a card to describe herself, one to indicate what was going to greet her, and another to show the outcome of the situation. She’d gotten into the habit of doing it every day while living at home, and even five years after moving out she found it a relaxing routine to start the day.

The day’s cards, however, were not very relaxing.

PerDeA

The backseat of the car was dark, only illuminated for short intervals by the orange glow of the streetlights. Two figures sat across from each other in the shifting light. In the backwards-facing seat on the driver’s side was PerDeA. Her dark hair was pulled tightly into a ponytail, lips slightly parted as she stared unblinking out the back window. Shoulders square, back straight, chin up, hands folded neatly in her lap, her breathing perfectly rhythmic; she would have looked human if not for the faintly glowing cybernetic blue rings superimposed over her black eyes.

Westhaven

Her eyes were open but she couldn’t see anything. There were mechanical sounds ‒ beeping, whirring ‒ all around her, and voices too far away for her to understand. The sharp smell of antiseptic and the softer detergent scent beneath it.

“Initiate optical system,” a muted female voice instructed. Between one breath and the next she started processing visual information: bright white lights above her, the featureless ceiling beyond, her own nose and eyelashes. She couldn’t move her head to see much else. Walls that matched the ceiling so well it was hard to tell where one became the other, bits of the bed she was on with its bleachable white sheets and side rails.

“Increase tactile responsivity by fifty percent and disengage the motion inhibitors.”

Pro Patria Mori

She sat on the narrow bed with her packed suitcase next to her. Her blonde hair was pinned back, her blue eyes fixed on a spot next to the door, her hands folded neatly in her lap. The winter chill clung like burrs to the house, helped by the heavy spring rain that beat against the window in a staccato rhythm. Outside, trees bowed under the charcoal sky. The old house creaked and groaned around her, the wind whistling and wailing as the storm continued to batter the country estate. She waited.

At any moment there would be a knock on the main door of the house. Godfrey, the aged and shuffling butler, would answer. Standing on the other side would be some men in crisp uniforms, holding up her picture and asking if he knew her. She had seen them in town the evening before, and it wouldn’t take more than a day before someone pointed them in the right direction. They looked like military men but there was something different in their manner, something sharper. Godfrey would lead them up, and up, and up, until they reached her third floor apartment. The butler would introduce them, she would smile politely, and she would leave with them without a fight.

The Clocktower

Astra hated Capperham. The way it sprawled its squalor from border to border, from the sea in the west to the battlements in the other three directions. The harbour reeked of dead fish and unwashed human, the slums of sickness and stale beer. Even the neighbourhoods of rich merchants and factory owners lay under the thick smog of black soot the mines and mills spat out day and night. The grit and dirt was part of everything, so deeply ingrained that even the most rigorous scrubbing couldn’t make something clean.

Stars Incline Us

The Christmas gala was in full swing. The entire ballroom was full of people Pippa didn’t know, all wearing fancy clothes that probably cost more than her rent. Her own dress was aubergine and a simple V-neck, form-fitting enough to be attractive but loose enough to not draw too much attention.

She and another girl who didn’t seem to know anyone at the event were chatting with Antero and Mr. Rabinoff near the edge of the dance floor. Antero was already antsy to leave despite the dinner having just ended, but Mr. Rabinoff had trapped him in a debate he was too proud to back down from. The other girl was from legal and either found them hilarious or had had a little too much to drink because she kept giggling, leaving Pippa no choice but to laugh along while adding the occasional remark to the back and forth between the men.

That brings us all the way back to October 2016. Which tells me that I need to start at the beginning of more stories haha. If anyone has questions about any of these, please feel free to ask. Also, if you read all of that, you are a saint and a hero and have my eternal friendship.

I tag @the-writing-avocado​, @radiowrites​, @pigeon-hold​, @sleepyowlwrites​, @akindofmagictoo​, and anyone else who wants to share their projects!! As always, no pressure (to play or to read this whole post lmao).
